Hungarian Ambassador Csaba Gabor will speak about bilateral relations between his country and South Korea during a conference at Hankuk University of Foreign studies on April 29.

The daylong conference will underscore the close ties between South Korea and Hungary as one of many events planned this year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

HUFS President Kim In-chul and Kim Tae-hwan, president of the Korean-Hungarian Friendship Association, will also give welcoming speeches to participants during the conference.

Trade and investment ties, high level political dialogue, people-to-people exchanges and important figures in early contact between Hungary and Korea will be explored through a number of discussion sessions.

In the second session, participants will devote special attention to Korea studies in Hungary and Hungarian studies here.
